Explanation:
The bullwhip effect can be explained as an occurrence detected by the supply chain where orders sent to the manufacturer and supplier create larger variance then the sales to the end customer. These irregular orders in the lower part of the supply chain develop to be more distinct higher up in the supply chain. This variance can interrupt the smoothness of the supply chain process as each link in the supply chain will over or underestimate the product demand resulting in exaggerated fluctuations.
CAUSES
There are many factors said to cause or contribute to the bullwhip effect in supply chains; the following list names a few:
1. Disorganization between each supply chain link; with ordering larger or smaller amounts of a product than is needed due to an over or under reaction to the supply chain beforehand.
2. Lack of communication between each link in the supply chain makes it difficult for processes to run smoothly. Managers can perceive a product demand quite differently within different links of the supply chain and therefore order different quantities.
3. Free return policies; customers may intentionally overstate demands due to shortages and then cancel when the supply becomes adequate again, without return forfeit retailers will continue to exaggerate their needs and cancel orders; resulting in excess material.
4. Order batching; companies may not immediately place an order with their supplier; often accumulating the demand first. Companies may order weekly or even monthly. This creates variability in the demand as there may for instance be a surge in demand at some stage followed by no demand after.
6. Price variations – special discounts and other cost changes can upset regular buying patterns; buyers want to take advantage on discounts offered during a short time period, this can cause uneven production and distorted demand information.
7. Demand information – relying on past demand information to estimate current demand information of a product does not take into account any fluctuations that may occur in demand over a period of time.
Answer: The impact of the Great Depression on the rich and poor
Explanation: A cohort is a group of individuals who experienced or share a common event in a specific time period. The cohort effect is used to describe various characteristics of an area of study such as the incidence of a characteristic over time among subjects who are defined by some shared life experience such as the Great Depression.
The Great Depression may have affected the poor and the rich differently but the events leading up to, during and the aftermath is an experience that was shared by both the rich and poor and this shared experience may influence the entire group's opinions and decisions for several years.
